Oh snap
Me too. Couldn't not have some after selling a bit ago. This all sounds good but in the past the stock has reacted oddly on earnings IIRC so we'll see.
Being down ~3.5% prior to earnings will do that!Got a bad feeling...Bump for earnings today.
Saddle up fellas!
A lot of the big tech stuff is down around that today much today but yeah I think I'm about to lose a lot of money in the next couple of hours.Being down ~3.5% prior to earnings will do that!Got a bad feeling...Bump for earnings today.

Just glad there wasn't some >10% drop because the insane expectations weren't met.

For comparison sake...
So...yeah... 300% increase in quarterly revenue over last 14 quarters....
They seem to be behind on this...with all those fitness devices out it's a pretty saturated market right now. Of course, that won't matter to Apple loyalists, but I haven't heard anyone in any of these fitness pages say they are holding out for an iWatch.
seems more of a fashion piece than a fitness device.
My grandfather had $25,000 of money he liked to keep out of his retirement to play around with stocks. In 2001 I was a freshman at college. He asked me if I had any hunches. I told him everyone wanted Apple laptops. IPods. Apple was really coming out with beautiful and better stuff than PCs. I said maybe they've got a future. 14 ####### years ago. Nope, I think he bought some NY regional bank stock that was 'ripe for acquisition!'FML.wow...i remember telling my wife if she invested all 5K i gave her for her retirement accounts at 250 per share (pre split) that she could not diversify. She put all the money into apple anyway. Yes i am definately eating crow evertime i see her 300%+ gain vs my slow and steady approach with the vast majority of our money.
Yeah I stopped doing these calculations a few years back.
Sorry, I had an error in the stock price. I updated the numbers however I don't think you want to look at those.
Probably. The pics I have seen remind me exactly of these other fitness devices that are out on the market right now. I've been thinking of getting one for fitness purposes, but can't stand the thought of wearing any of them. They are all pretty ugly.
Have you seen the architecture behind Apple Pay? There's a reason banks were so resistant. Either way, not sure what any of that has to do with Samsung. This is an app not a device feature.
No way in hell I would ever use that.
I've had Google Wallet on my Android devices for a couple years now. Haven't ever used it in a store. 1) Because most stores don't have the right devices to use it and 2) Is it really any faster/easier than pulling my CC out of my wallet?
I use it all the time
1) What's wrong with the architecture behind Apple Pay? I like the fact that I'm not giving actual payment/personal info to the merchants.
Once MCX abandons their proprietary CurrentC in favor of ApplePay & GoogleWallet the game will be over. I anticipate Mobile payments will comprise 25 of payments in America within the next 2 years. Starbucks alone was performing 7 Million Mobile transactions a week back in October. According to Schultz "While that figure has been growing almost 50 percent a year, the real growth is yet to come".
No...it'll take off. People won't take the time to learn how it works. This thing, as of 6 months ago, was about as secure as the early versions of pay pal. Of course they'll work to secure it, but who knows how long that will take to sufficiently satisfy the banks so a direct link can actually be made.
1. Several points of failure in the path between phone, credit card and bank. At each point a decryption has to occur and the connections aren't of the highest encryption levels. This is a result of the token the credit companies are creating for the communication.1) What's wrong with the architecture behind Apple Pay? I like the fact that I'm not giving actual payment/personal info to the merchants.
2) given the hardware integration of TouchID (vs PIN-centric Google Wallet) it most certainly is a hardware feature. Still disagree? Okay... Use ApplePay on an iPhone 5 and get back to me.
"Were" is the key statement. My understanding is that they are all sold on the technology now, and the big CC companies are treating Apple Pay transactions as "card present" since the security is so good.
Retailers would be wise to avoid Apple Pay. If it gets popular then Apple with have leverage on the credit card companies and the companies will be forced to raise their rates to pay Apple.
